Without the Department of Education, class sizes will swell, students with disabilities could lose access to special education, and working class kids will lose access to grants and loans. The attack on public education is unacceptable and won't stand.
Symptoms of ableism may include:
✅ Preconceived notions of what “counts” as a disability
✅ Opinions that aren’t based on reason, credible research or experience
✅ Biased prejudices formed by misguided beliefs/feelings
✅ Dismissing/minimizing the difficulties of others
@Kryzreid and @ThirdEyeBlind doing their thing last night at @ShorelineAmpCA . Thanks for another excellent show. I missed the pit, but the show was excellent.
Thank you, Gary, for taking the time to meet with @RepJimmyPanetta to discuss the importance of life-saving policy and programs that help patients facing blood cancers and disorders.
Our advocacy ambassadors help lead the way for public policy change that impacts patients facing life-threatening blood cancers and disorders. Thanks, ambassadors Aly (CA) and Lisa (CA) from the California Hawaii region, for your leadership. #NationalVolunteerWeek
Thank you, @RepEricSorensen for signing on as a co-sponsor to the Life Saving Leave Act (H.R. 3024). Your support is vital to help save the lives of thousands of patients facing blood cancers and disorders by giving donors job protection when called to donate life-saving cells.
@RenelSFVoyce I don't post often anymore, but I had to make sure to tell you how sad I am and how much I will miss your voice at @SFGiants games. I look forward to supporting any new endeavors you take part in. #legend
Kiva is an easy way to make a real difference in someone's life. Will you join me in helping Gricelda in Pittsburgh to pursue their dream? https://t.co/jRjChMzsJf #microloan#kivalove via @Kiva
@ThirdEyeBlind My son and I (and many other friends) waited all day for the anniversary show at the Chapel in SF. It started to rain as we were waiting and the bamd ordered pizza for us. My son helped to hand out slices and was featured on the band's instagram. Picking a favorite is hard.
“Advocacy is something that I feel strongly about because I’ve seen the difference that we can make by getting laws passed that benefit our patients.” – Gary, Director of Transplant Services Operations at @StanfordHealth, donor and advocate. Watch Gary’s story. 👇
